| Two different brand amp in the same setup 5.1? I'm running a B&K tx4430 for the front (L, C, R), and a Parasound HCA1000A for the rears. It's quite nice, and it's nicer than when I was running a 5 channel B&K AV5125; and also nicer than when I was running a Parasound HCA1203a for the f... | |

| Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?... This may be irrelevant because They are so old, and apparently scarce . . . I have a pair of Infinity Monitor IIa speakers that I bought in 1974/5.

| Traditional looking speakers Totem's are pretty traditional looking. Cabinets are excellent, the sound great, and are pretty compact. I think the Hawks are in that range | |

| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. My top 3 would be Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound. Though Tresspass and Nursery Cryme are also hard to beat. I'm less fond of the post-Gabriel recordings, but it's still among my favorite bands. I would pick Wind ... | |
